The Firs Discipleship Program invites young adults aged 18-24 to cultivate a deeply rooted faith grounded in Scripture. The convergence of formal post-secondary education, intentional discipleship, and practical ministry experiences will enrich our students' faith, expand their knowledge of scripture, and cultivate a Christ-centered identity, all while living in a thriving Christian community.
Students can participate in either one or two years of the program, with each year offering a unique focus that combines spiritual growth with practical ministry and career applications.
